Know Your Personal Rights and Your Circle of Control
Knowing your personal rights is empowering, allowing you to know when you are being treated unfairly and what you can do about it. Everyone has the right to be treated equally, with fairness and respect. You have the right to privacy, and to have information about yourself kept confidential. You have the right to freedom of expression and assembly. You have the right to be free from discrimination and harassment. You have the right to safety and security. These are just some of the personal rights that you have. When you know your personal rights, you can assert them confidently and effectively. This can make a difference in your life and in the lives of those around you. Empowered with knowledge, you can create a fairer and more just world for everyone
